  27. Weaknesses of PAK Orbat • No intervening Fmn HQ between GHQ and Corps. • How will GHQ control and co-ordinate 9 x corps HQ during war? • No Army Gp HQ because of insecurity of Army Chief and dictatorial mindest. • Most Corps weak in strength, no reserves, lack of flexibility. • Strike Corps/Army Reserves weak, particularly ARS. • Lack of mobile SHORADs AD systems/gun msl platforms. • Poor, effete, morally corrupt senior leadership.
